functions keys in gnome terminal

[Marvin Dickens]

Hello list,

I've recently become a gnome convert after using kde for 5+ years. Now,
I am drawn to gnome due to it's simplistic interface and clean
appearance. However,
I've got what I consider to be a major issue with gnome terminal and I
cannot find any references regarding how to solve my problem.

The function key (F1 through F12) signals are being grabbed by gnome
terminal and never reach cli programs
that I am running in gnome terminal. In essence, I cannot cli tools that
use function keys to navigate 
the menu.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Any and all help
is appreciated.


Best regards
